Product Description

Forging Characteristics

The characteristics of the forged part can be summarized as follows:

Maximum Resistance Values
Offers optimal values for material tensile strength, alternating bending fatigue limit, elongation, and resilience.
Electrical Conductivity
Provides good electrical conductivity suitable for high-performance applications.
Absolute Tightness
Guarantees complete and absolute tightness against both liquids and gases.
Structure Quality
Features a homogeneous and completely porosity-free structure that is particularly clean and smooth.
Chemical Resistance
Possesses high chemical resistance properties to withstand demanding environments.

Heat treatments are conducted in-house to meet the production cycle. After forging, the components are subjected to solution treatment, hardening and artificial ageing.

Aging

The subsequent aging phase consists in hardening by precipitation of the alloy constituents, which can occur in the oven (physical state T6). This process gives the products the most appropriate physical and mechanical characteristics for subsequent uses.

Forging Component

Surface Treatment

Surface processing is carried out in compliance with customer needs, in order to offer a finished product that conforms to its intended use.

Pickling

Pickling is a typically chemical or mechanical treatment, which aims to remove a very thin surface layer, to make the product free of contamination such as oxides, fats and processing residues.

Anodic Oxidation

Anodic oxidation is an electro-chemical process through which a thin surface layer of aluminum oxide is generated, usually between 5 and 20 microns, which increases corrosion protection. This layer can be supplied neutral, i.e. the same color as the aluminium, or coloured.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the primary material characteristics of forged parts?

Forged parts provide maximum resistance values including high tensile strength, alternating bending fatigue limit, elongation, and resilience. They also feature good electrical conductivity, high chemical resistance, and a homogeneous, porosity-free, clean, and smooth structure.

Are forged parts tight against liquids and gases?

Yes, forged parts feature absolute tightness to both liquids and gases, preventing any leakage due to their dense, homogeneous structure.

What happens during the aging heat treatment phase?

The aging phase involves precipitation hardening of the alloy constituents, which is performed in an oven to achieve the T6 physical state. This process optimizes the physical and mechanical properties of the parts for their intended applications.

What is the purpose of pickling?

Pickling is a chemical or mechanical surface treatment designed to remove a very thin surface layer from the product. This eliminates contaminants like oxides, grease, and processing residues, leaving the surface clean.

How does anodic oxidation improve forged parts?

Anodic oxidation is an electro-chemical treatment that creates a protective aluminum oxide layer (typically 5 to 20 microns thick) on the surface, significantly increasing corrosion resistance. This layer can be finished in a neutral tone (matching the aluminium) or in color.
